I too have tremors in my left leg, and my arm too on my left side. My leg ones are more violent and obvious when they happen, the arm ones are still minor - but then I've had CRPS in my leg far longer, so I can look forward to my arm ones spilling drinks over me very soon! I get goose bumps too, and sometimes when my hair on my leg (I don't shave my legs very often now, sorry  ) stands on end with them, it's really painful and sensitive. Normally a sign that I do need to shave them! The electric shocks are random and violent and horrible. I hate them. I'm lucky in that I seem to have them less often and not as bad now that I'm not taking Gabapentin anymore. I find I get them in some weird places though - literally anywhere, from in my ear to in my belly. Freak me out sometimes.
It's no fun at all, but do have to laugh sometimes at the whol sorry circus.....otherwise you cry 
Take care everyone. Maybe tomorrow will be the day....

It's true, I feel lucky to have the tub for sure. Tremors: yep me too, mine started in my legs and then went EVERYWHERE else, just like the electric shocks. My tremors have gotten so bad you'd think I have Parkinson's. Legs, arms, even my lips and tongue... awesome hu?
Here's the thing I don't get, if I didn't have Gaba, or some drug like it, my tremors would be out of hand for sure. And the Neuropathic shocks too... hum.
